The third of 3 loosely connected songs about the conditions that lead to making facism seem rational - the constant hunger for war profits that fuels so many modern economies
lyrics
No regard for the little things
It's out the window with compassion
Corporations join the club of little kings
Buy and sell distraction.
I can hear the cannons cry
Is it our turn to run and hide?
History writes you like a little prize
Takes away your thin disguise.
From sepulchre to autograph
Blackshirts back in fashion
Whisper nothing to the polygraph
It's all about distraction.
I can hear the cannons cry
Is it our turn to run and hide?
History writes you like a little prize
Takes apart your thin disguise.
I can hear the cannons cry
It's your turn to run and hide
Burn the ledgers and the passers-by
Life and price and cost and fear to die.

When you like your prog to be more beautiful and/or accessible than prog-proggy, than this is for you! Melodic as hell and yes, Peter Falconer is quite a singer! That wouldn't go half the way without the solid songs of Pat Sanders. A great combination of skills ;-) Carsten Pieper

Absolutely hooked on this album from first listen. How rare is that with prog!??? Excellent songwriting and musicianship. Can’t wait to dive into the rest of the collection. Thomas Lock

BBT are standard bearers for modern prog, with a sound that evokes the spirit of those legendary 70s bands whilst managing to also be thoroughly contemporary. It's astonishing that over 30 minutes of music of this quality, with such high production values, is being made available for free - and their full albums are also very reasonably priced...

Fantasy progressive rock is not something I'd ever thought of. Yet Foreign Land, especially the Foreign Land track itself, transported me straight into an unknown, magical fantasy world. Hakim Zulkufli
